Well today's laugh probably -no certainly is at my expense. As many of you know I have been touring Europe for over three years in my car and caravan. My car is registered in Britain and I of course pay my road tax£180 a year though I seldom spend more than two weeks there with it in a year.
Recently I visited 11 countries in eastern Europe in 43 days I couldn't figure out where all my money had gone until this morning 710 euros on vignettes and road tolls! That's well over £600 and I've already paid my UK road tax! What if I had stayed in some of the countries any longer I would have spent over £1000 quite easily. Am I mad?! Too bloody right I am!
Why can people from all these countries come and use the UK roads for free and they stuff us?! Whilst I am on the subject I bet half the roads that I travelled on were paid for with European money-mine and your no doubt.
When is the UK going to wake up?! It was q lot of money but it didn't deter us from going-surely we should charge foreign visitors to use our roads!
Rant over! I can't see out of my windscreen either ( does that count as another rant! Lol
We retired early from a professional job. We are living the dream in our caravan going where the road and the sunshine takes us. We work part time for the caravan club leading European tours and inspecting overseas sites. We have been to some amazing places and met some amazing people. We have camped in 30 Countries in the past twelve months-we are running out of Europe! Roll on the next 30 Countries!
